What would most usually happen would be that the rock would under-go something called metamorphism. This is when such natural forces- air, wind, rain, snow, etc.- would interfer with the growing & changing of the rock. E.g.- Sedimentary rock forms when sediment gets compacted & cemented together. If the rock does not get cemented together the "sediment" stays, well, sediment. The only way it could change is if metamorphism were to change its chemical composition, etc.

Can sedimentary rock form directly from metamorphic rock?
yes it can- metamorphic has to change into one type of rock after it is changed from another.
Rock that has changed from one type of rock to another type of rock is called?
It can be any type of rock. If heat and pressure deep in the Earth changed it, it is a metamorphic rock. If sediments of sand or other rocks compacted/cemented together, it's a sedimentary rock. If magma from a volcano cools, (on the outside of a volcano) it's an igneous rock.
What is a rock that continuously changes from one type to another?
the rock cycle
What is it called when the transformation of one rock type to another?
Gravity
Give one type of example of how one type of rock can change into another type of rock?
an igneous rock can be left out and have weathering erosion crush it sorta and make sediments and have the sediments be cemented and turned into a sedimentary rock
Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
Can sedimentary rock form directly from metamorphic rock?
yes it can- metamorphic has to change into one type of rock after it is changed from another.
What kind of rock forms when any type of solid rock changes into another type of rock because of increased pressure or temperature?
Those are metamorphic rocks, changed from one type to another by extreme pressure.
What are rocks changed from one type into another by a never ending process called?
the rock cycle
Type of rock has been changed from one type into another?
Metamorphic rocks are those which have changed type due to heat, presssure or some other geologic agent.
Rock that has changed from one type of rock to another type of rock is called?
It can be any type of rock. If heat and pressure deep in the Earth changed it, it is a metamorphic rock. If sediments of sand or other rocks compacted/cemented together, it's a sedimentary rock. If magma from a volcano cools, (on the outside of a volcano) it's an igneous rock.
Can a rock chang to a type of rock to another?
rocks can change from one type of rock to another, or not change at all
How can one type of rock become another type of rock how is it possible?
The Rock Cycle.
What is the continuous change from one type of rock to another type of rock?
metamorphosis
What is a rock that continuously changes from one type to another?
the rock cycle
What is the flow of material from one rock type to another?
The Rock Cycle
What is the rock cycle including descriptions of how one type of rock can change into another type?
It is called the Rock Cycle.
